but what about the also authentic charging trick of rubbing an end of a battery on your pants quickly several times to get like 4 minutes of charge back into it so you can play another short game of tetris before school?

the part about throwing all the batteries into the 'working battery but idk how much by' drawer is so real... and so nostalgic..

you didn't just lick batteries in the 90s to see if they were good. Thats not how it worked at all.

You did it with "D" batteries, as it was the only way you could lick the positive and negative at the same time.

you licking an "A" or "AA" battery does nothing but get the battery covered in your saliva.

I would usually just put in the flashlight and see if the battery worked. I don't remember people sticking batteries in their mouth back then.

This mod is great, even if it gives me a little nostalgic PTSD.

@Josepher In Project Zomboid every type of consumer battery is represented by a single Base.Battery item. From the AAAs in your penlight to mighty lantern battery in your heavy duty flashlight. So that battery is a 9v battery. It's also a AA and a battery pack that can run a HAM Radio setup. It's multiple batteries at once when it needs to be, because how many 90s devices used a single AA/C/D cell?

Also, you hold a short bit of wire on the negative terminal and lick the other end of the wire and the positive terminal at the same time.

I remember my grandpa hit battery with his hammer softly or chewed with his teeth when it's not working. and the battery worked magically, even short tho.
